He who drinks of the serpent’s blood shall become invincible…

While on official UNESCO business in The Vatican Museum, Dr Max Hunter finds himself pulled in to a dark conspiracy of Biblical proportions! Summoned to the inner sanctum of the Vatican in the middle of the night, Hunter discovers his friend and colleague , Professor Marco Vitali, has been brutally murdered, using his dying moments to draw a message on the floor in his own blood – a clue for Max to follow!

Not only that, but a high-ranking cardinal has been kidnapped, and a ransom note left… only the Powers That Be within the Vatican are holding information back from Hunter, making his mission to bring the murderer to justice all the harder…

And so with the currently suspended HARPA team assembling and flying across the world to help Max in this most mysterious of predicaments, the race is on to solve the riddle drawn out in blood, and stop an evil older than humanity resurfacing…
